Townsends Cycle Centre posted on 1 December 2012

Due to its relatively small size, Cambridge is a perfect place for cyclists to get around easily, there are many open cycle paths and cycle routes on the roads, allowing those on a bike to nip around the city with ease, missing out on the traffic congestion that sometimes clogs up the roads.

Getting out and about on a bike not only relieves traffic congestion but also takes the stress out of people’s commutes.

Whether you’re travelling to the next street, across the city or further afield, Townsend's Cycle Centre on Chesterton Road has the perfect selection of bikes for the every day commute and beyond, their ranges include models for the city, leisure, mountain, racing, off road and many more besides.

Townsends Cycle Centre has been providing Cambridge with cycles since 1895. Their fantastic range of cycles caters for everyone from commuters and those who bike for leisure, to more serious cycling enthusiasts.

Townsend's are a company that believes strongly in customer brand choice by stocking the very best brands available, including Ridgeback, Scott, Bianchi, Genesis, Saracen, Pashley, Raleigh and the Light Blue range.

Some of the most sought after models for city travel include those from the Pashley range – Pashley is the UK’s longest established cycle manufacturer, having been hand-building bikes since 1926.

If you are looking for that something special, however, then why not test ride one of Townsend’s very own city bikes – the Light Blue. The Light Blue is a classic city bike, with its design based on the original model, first produced by J.A Townsend back in 1895 – this old fashioned, high quality, traditional bicycle is a comfortable upright bike with a basket, simple gears and a very traditional look that uses the latest lightweight alloy frame and parts to produce a bike that only weighs 14kg. They are the quintessential Cambridge city bike and can be relied on for durability and high manufacturing standards.

Townsends Cycle Centre also offer an enormous range of cycling accessories, including bike lights, safety helmets, reflective jackets and much more – and if your bike is in need of repair of a regular service and check up, they also have their very own service and repair centre, which can be found at the back of the store on Chesterton Road.

For more details and to arrange a test ride of any model in stock give them a call on 01223 315845 or visit them online at www.townsends-lb.co.uk
